Peace Mission in
the Civil Defense Parade, N.Y.C.
Everybody was feeling happy and especially grateful and loving towards the LORD, as they reflected over the great and grand occasion of the day before, and as a result of healthy, happy minds, the atmosphere was charged with love and filled with peace. The songs of love and praise to the LORD for His Loving Kindness and Tender Mercy which endureth all generations, were coming forth by inspiration by many who have consecrated their lives to CHRIST and the cause of humanity, as they thought back as far down the line of time as they could in remembrance of GOD'S Holiness and Goodness. One of the songs of Praise which stamped this fact indelibly on our conscious minds at this time, was the song which the Angels sang just prior to the illustrious Message which FATHER gave at this Banquet hour. The Song was as follows:
'Sweet Body of GOD! Sweet Body of GOD! Sweet Body GOD!
Sweet Body of GOD! Sweet Body of GOD! Sweet Body of GOD!
Oh, how I love YOU, with all this heart!'
There were many, many visitors present, some having come as the result of the "Divine" Demonstration of the previous day. They seemed much surprised, many of them did as they beheld so lofty and peaceful an occasion as was presented to them; however, this was nothing more or less than our daily Banquet -- our regular daily midday Banquet, where the Angels sing and rejoice and give Praise and adoration to GOD, FATHER DIVINE, Who has delivered them from the trials and afflictions and hardships of every description, and where the LORD opens up the Fount of Wisdom and causes His Omniscience to flow forth as streams of Living Water, that whosoever may drink of this Water, shall thirst no more. For this great Unfoldment through this Message, Dear LORD, we do truly thank THEE.
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which FATHER speaks as follows:)
PEACE EVERYONE! ("Peace, FATHER Dear!" responded the jubilant throng.) Here you all are again, and there I sit and stand; the universalization of the Actual Presence of GOD, Whom you say I AM. It is a privilege to realize, that which it takes to bring anything into expression, it takes the same thing to keep it. It has long since been declared; in other words, required:
As you have found HIM, walk therein";
realizing the sacrifices you made in an effort to even so much as seek diligently your GOD, it requires the same thing to keep GOD by the same method and by the same sacrifices you made to get HIM. Again I wish to say, it may sound a little strange, but yet it is true, for CHRIST in a Person to come into the world. GOD searched the Heaven and the earth. GOD searched the sea and the oceans and even the fountains of waters and HE could not find one worthy to loose the Book of the "Seven Seals", and allow the Mysteries of GOD to be revealed, but under the altar there came forth One in a most insignificant way of expression; but yet the expression of the Virtues and the Holiness of all of the saints of the ages . . . Such a phenomenon came, coming through the many generations seeking to prepare HIMSELF a Body. As an abstract expression, it was necessary also for HIM to find a Body of Holiness, a Body of Virtue and the Virginity of GOD among humanity. For this cause Mary was chosen as that one to bring forth the First-born among many brethren. Can you not see the mystery?
Hence, Mary in all of her virtue and in her virginity, she could conceive the Message from the Angel as a word of consolation, of how the Message would be developed from a Word to a Person, and would bring forth the First-born among many brethren, as the Savior of all humanity. This was accomplished through and by Mary's virtues and GOD'S Holiness. Can you not see? Hence, she being virtuous and living in the virginity of her youth, GOD inspired her with the blessings of the Spirit. As the Holy Ghost overshadowed her, she conceived the idea of GOD, as was in the invisible, and she brought forth the first-born among many brethren who must come after Him by being in the Nature and the Characteristics of His Holiness and of Mary's Virtues or virginity developed.
It takes nothing less than that to bring about the perfect child; therefore, one had to be found that was pure and holy . . . modestly was pure and holy in the way of morality, and in a degree whereby all mortal tendencies were undeveloped and had not been manifested, that her human affection and any such thing as that could not be in evidence; but the spirit of her virginity could be demonstrated and she could conceive the Words of GOD through such a Virginity; and through such virtues as were developed in her, she conceived the first idea of the redemption of the children of men, as a perfect idea.
She pondered over those things which the Angel told her in her heart, for she had conceived a thought from the idea of GOD, and GOD'S Idea being conceived as His Word, His Word was made flesh, for it took form in her system, coming forth into expression as a sample and as an example for others.
JESUS CHRIST, as known to the Christian world, was born as the first- born among many brethren, but born of an Immaculate Birth, that others might copy after the Fashion of His Character and of His Characteristics, and produce His Nature and bring it to fruition. This was a wonderful thought; hence, the Child came forth into the world, according to Christendom, as one being termed through an illegitimate birth, but through the law of the Spirit of Life, CHRIST was conceived, according to the Plan and the Purpose of GOD; in other words, CHRIST was the conception by which Mary was conceived, according to the Plan and Purpose of GOD. A perfect Immaculate Birth came forth into expression in the founding and the making of Biblical History. This Child was born of an Immaculate Birth, according to the versions of Christendom.
Why was it so especially necessary for GOD to seek out a Virgin to bring forth the firstborn Son among many brethren, in the light of an Immaculate understanding? It was because others must come through that Birth by being born of His Nature and of His Characteristics, because it was a Sample and an Example for others; therefore, it was essential for GOD to find a Mother for the Baby that was pure and holy, according to Christendom. This was accomplished, and the Child was born Immaculately as an Immaculate birth, according to the versions of millions. Regardless to the superstition and the ideas and the opinions of other millions, Christianity and all of Christendom declare that Jesus was born by the Spirit of GOD, and was the Conception of the Holy Ghost by which Mary conceived.
A Holy birth and a Holy Purpose was the Mission: a Holy birth or a Holy Purpose was the Mission of CHRIST coming through an Immaculate Birth, as a Sample and as an Example, I mean, among you, for the purpose of reaching your mind effectively for us.
What a privilege to observe the mystery! Then through this Birth as the First-born among many brethren, you find CHRIST came, and taught the Life of His Nature and His Characteristics and stressed them vividly until others could conceive the idea by the Spirit concerning the mystery of His Commission. He was commissioned to go and redeem them;
'For His Name shall be called",
said one writer, in other words, said the Angel,
'JESUS, for He shall save His people from their sins.'
It was required of Him to come forth a perfect Child. Holy and virtuous was the expression of His Nature and of His Characteristics as a sample and as an example for all of His people. Each and every individual, must, to win the Victory and enter into the "Straight Gate into the City," according to My Version, accomplish the same aim and the same purpose for which CHRIST came in the act of bringing the Virtues and the perfect Holy state of being into consideration.
Then while I sat and listened and thought, My Spirit was stirred and My Zeal was expressive, for I could not hold it any longer from speaking concerning the mystery of the Coming of CHRIST JESUS, as the Sample and as the Example for others, the First-born among many brethren.
To copy after such a Character is the great essential; to take on the Nature and the Characteristics of your Savior, by denying yourselves according to the Gospel, for He did say:
'If you hear of any man inquiring after Me", or "asking for Me, tell him I said, first deny himself.'
You cannot follow CHRIST saving by self-denial, since you were born of that adulterous birth. As Jesus was born of the Immaculate birth, you must copy after the Immaculate and deny the mortal and all of your mortal tendencies, fancies and pleasures, for such is detrimental to you. Then the Immaculate Birth must be in consideration, for if you are to produce and bring to fruition the Spirit and the Nature of your Savior, you must take on the CHRIST Characteristics, and live it and express them effectively, that GOD in His Own Nature transmitted, might be in evidence among you. Then I say,
'As you found Him, walk therein.'
As CHRIST came to the world, and the only way He was to come was the way He came, was that you might also come into this recognition and live exactly according to His Teaching by bringing your bodies into subjection to His Nature and to His Characteristics.
Now if it were not necessary for GOD to find an holy woman through which the Holy Son was to be born, by which the Immaculate Birth was to take place, it must necessarily be considered, that such a life to be reincarnated, must be developed in each and every individual. You must take on CHRIST'S Characteristics, the CHRIST'S Nature, the CHRIST'S Disposition by denying yourself of all self-indulgences of all human fancies and all human tendencies and pleasures, that GOD'S Nature and Characteristics might be in evidence within you.
These thoughts are well worth considering. They may be hard sayings, but if you are going to live five years longer, you have to do it. What a privilege to live in such a recognition, where GOD is your refuge and your strength, and I re-declare that I have declared:
'If you hear of any person inquiring after ME, tell him I said, first deny himself.'
Yourself is your human tendencies. Yourselves are your human tendencies. I say, your human fancies, your human pleasures, your human tendencies and your human ideas and all of your human ideas and opinions -- if you are not willing to make a sacrifice of them, you are not worthy of living eternally. Then the Life of CHRIST and of Mary must be developed. I mean, the Holiness of CHRIST and the Virtue and Virginity of Mary must be developed in this people, and brought to fruition before they can have the victory over sickness and diseases, for them to have victory over sorrow, misery, disappointment and failure, for CHRIST was the Overcomer, as the Sample and the Example and others must copy after the selfsame Fashion. >
Then these thoughts I brought forth for consideration. How marvelous it is to observe them. As you found Him in the state of consciousness wherein JESUS the CHRIST functions, even so must you reproduce and bring into outer expression the identical Nature and the Characteristics by reincarnation of your Savior; not any longer merely a duplication of that of which was manifested in Jesus, but by concentration and by harmonization and by reincarnation, you must bring forth the identical same Characteristics and Nature and Spirit and Life and Love that Jesus expressed in Himself as a Person, for all of these are impersonal. They were not produced and brought to fruition in Jesus for a selfish purpose. They were brought to fruition in One, that they might be transmitted and reincarnated in others. As they bring them to fruition, they will also be transmitted, the same as the principles of mathematics, if you please.
Everybody is trying to have an education. Almost any and everybody desires -- they all desire to have sense enough to read and write a little. Human intelligence is not a personal expression. It is impersonal as GOD'S Nature and GOD'S Characteristics, and GOD'S Nature, Spirit, Life and Characteristics are as impersonal as is human intelligence.
The human intelligence as taught in your schools of learning is for the purpose of advancing civilizations and giving humanity one common light of understanding, that all might be on one common level and understand each other better. Can you not see the mystery? That is what it is for; so it is with the Nature of GOD transmitted.
Jesus brought the Nature of GOD to the surface and manifested it in humanity, as a sample and as an example that others might copy after the Fashion, and bring the same to fruition by reincarnation and living according to His Teaching. This can be accomplished by each and every individual, for all of these Qualities and Blessings and Attributes are impersonal.
As GOD is impersonal even so impersonal are these different expressions of his Majesty; so are the impressions and expressions of His Life and of His Holiness. They are as impersonal and expressive for you, as they were for Him, although He was the First-born among many brethren. Aren't you glad?
Human intellect or intelligence, whichever, your mortal human education, which I AM daily endorsing and encouraging and inspiring others to acquire, such as you have already acquired, it was for the purpose of causing humanity generally to be more deeply inspired with the common understanding nationally and internationally, that they might understand each other better and know how to travel.
Because you are intelligent, it does not say that your intelligence which you call yours, belongs to you alone. The same is interchangeable. It is reincarnatable. It is reproducible and re-personifiable. Can you not see the mystery? If you find the best mathematician in the world, especially in the English -- in the English speaking tongue, pick him out and bring him forth, still there will be some other one who has the same right of expression in the way of expressing mathematically intelligently, as your most perfect mathematician.
As with such an expression of that great principle, so with the Prince of Life, and the Prince of all creation. All of GOD'S Nature and GOD'S Characteristics and GOD'S Disposition, GOD'S Spirit and GOD'S Mind and all that GOD really is, is as expressible for you as these Qualities, Attributes and Characteristics are expressive for others; therefore, you, if you please, if you will, may say "Why Do You Go to School?
Why is it you are taught to go to school? In some states of this Union, I mean, in the United States of America, you are punished if you do not send your children to school, when they are of school age. It is because they are trying to get every person to get a common grammar school education, at least that much, that they might have understanding to meet the issue of life, and to speak intelligently enough so that people can understand them, especially those who speak the English language. As with human education in and under our English speaking tongue, even so with the Spirit of GOD'S Actual Presence. His Nature and His Characteristics are for each and everyone. Then you must consider, the more you love your Savior, the more expressive it will be in the sacrificing of your mortal tendencies, fancies and pleasures, for you cannot develop the CHRIST and bring Him to fruition unless you deny yourself of all of your human tendencies for of all of your human tendencies are hindrances and are detrimental to you and will prohibit the expression and even prohibit the development of the Nature and the Characteristics of your Savior. Can you not see the mystery?
It is a privilege of each and every person to inculcate and reincarnate the very Nature and the Spirit and the Characteristics and the Mind and Attributes of GOD your FATHER, for they have been transmitted to you through the Life and the Teaching of Jesus as the Sample and the Example for this people.
Now produce them and bring them to fruition, for that is the only way to find Peace on earth, or in Heaven, whatsoever it is you are seeking that is desirable. If it were necessary for Jesus as a Person to come through and by an Immaculate Birth, it is necessary for you to be Immaculately and virtuously inspired and developed in His Characteristics and in His Nature to receive Him in your life and in your existence.
If it took the Life of CHRIST in Mary as a Virgin, to be manifested to bring forth the Immaculate One, it takes the same thing in you to keep Him, or to bring Him forth into your system and in your mentality, that He might be manifested within you. That is the mystery. Whensoever your mind and attention are directed in any direction other than the FUNDAMENTAL, you are deteriorating and deviating and going in a different direction from the way you should go, and the only way you can bring forth the CHRIST within to fruition. The same thing that it took, or it takes to bring the CHRIST into expression in the Teaching of Jesus and in the Teaching of the Bible otherwise, it takes the same thing to keep Him in your lives to manifest Him to the children of men.
Now, these are hard sayings to the minds that are not willing to sacrifice all. I AM not talking about dollars and cents. GOD says: "Sons and daughters, give ME your heart." And, "The love of money is the root of all evil," but your hearts are required at the Bar of GOD. Your minds and attention, your love and devotion, your ideas and opinions, all should be concentrated sincerely and conscientiously on the FUNDAMENTAL; that is, if you mean to live on earth in Heaven. Aren't you glad?
Even in mortal consciousness, for the last seventy-five or a hundred years, right here in this country, you have been taught to find GOD, or find Jesus. As you sought Him you must seek Him, and as others sought Him, you must seek Him, by denying yourself of all of your human fancies, your human pleasures and forget those things that are behind you, making a sacrifice of all for your Savior, that HE might save you. Aren't you glad?
Then upon this Foundation if you will stand, lo, I will be with you just as I AM . . . I AM ALL SUCCESS and ALL PROSPERITY and I AM the SATISFIER of every desire, for all of My Desires are automatically bountifully supplied and completely satisfied. Aren't you glad? Then I verify My original composition as a motto for the consideration of the people:
'The Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD is the source of all supply, and it can, and it will satisfy every good desire.'
Be conscious of GOD'S Presence and live it and express it by harmonizing with it, and lo, I will be with you. Your desires will be satisfied, for your conscious conviction of GOD'S Actual Presence will create an atmosphere of which is the Source and of which is the Supply, which is the Spirit of the Consciousness of which all mankind can imbibe.
The reason the minds of men are changed when they come in contact with ME, and when they get in this environment, it is because the very Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD is so much in evidence here, it will overwhelm their conscious mentality, if they are open-minded and are not selfish. The very Spirit of the Consciousness of GOD'S Presence will overwhelm your conscious mentality and cause you to think and agree accordingly, unless you are prejudiced to the Fundamental.
Oh, it is a privilege to observe the mystery. The very ideas that are expressed according to the conscious conviction and the realization of GOD'S Presence will be put forth into expression so vividly by the Spirit of GOD'S Presence as though by mental telepathy, you will get them wheresoever you are, anywhere universally. That is the mystery; for the Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD is in evidence when all are conscious together of GOD'S Actual Presence and harmonize with the PRINCIPLE which I AM stressing. The Spirit of it is the atmosphere that such a conscious conviction and realization creates, and this atmosphere being the Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD, it actually satisfies every desire, for it is the Source and it is the Supply; therefore, it satisfies from A to Z.
I do not have to do anything. I have not had to do anything especially to try to bring about My Desired Aims and My Desired Purposes, for they will come forth into expression automatically, because all are conscious of with ME of GOD'S Actual Presence, and by such a recognition, the atmosphere, the Spirit of it, is in evidence and in operation; therefore, it is actually creating and recreating the desirable things for your comfort and for your convenience, for the sustenance of your body, to satisfy every good desire. I thank you.
